[QUOTE="Psion, post: 444096, member: 172"] Take a look at the title page for Spycraft. The material you recognize from Star Wars is not OGC, and got used by permission from WotC. I'm not sure why you think it is compulsory that they have to hoe the same row as the other SFRPG releases. Not only are releases like SW untouchable, but releases like Fading Suns and Farscape are specific and make more specific setting accomodations. I think trying to play to the conventions of those books would have seriously hindered the utility of T20... not to mention, not all of the books you mention were out when T20 was in development. Further, I really have to praise RPGRealms for NOT making the same mistake that Farscape did. Farscape differs from Star Wars in significant ways, but it also borrows heavily from it behind the scenes. For example, take a look at the explosives table in Farscape. Note that it seems to be missing footnotes. That's because the table was lifted from SW. I really don't see how you get off blasting T20 when there efforts were far more original and complete than the games you complain about lack of compatibility regarding. [/QUOTE]
